Frequently Asked Questions
Best blackout treatment?
Blackout-lined curtains with pelmet or top track + side return: most effective. Roller blackout blinds with side channels: budget effective. Plantation shutters: aesthetic plus light control but not 100% blackout.
Plantation shutters worth the cost?
Yes for aesthetic — they look high-end. Per-window cost £500–£2,500. Add 2–3% property value. Real wood vs faux for difference.
Roman or roller blinds?
Roman: fabric-folded, more decorative. Roller: minimalist, easier to clean. Both available in blackout fabric.
How long do window treatments last?
Curtains: 10–20 years (depending on fabric). Roman blinds: 5–10 years. Roller blinds: 5–8 years. Plantation shutters: 25+ years.
Curtain or blind in a small bedroom?
Blinds (no fabric stack) maximise space. Curtains better in larger bedrooms with hanging room.
Best fabric for bedroom curtains?
Linen blend: drapes well, soft. Velvet: insulating, premium. Cotton: classic. Avoid synthetic for the cheap-shiny look.
